A bit of driving to be done but when you are put on fish you have nothing to complain about.
The GPS numbers were spot on and took the stress out of the drive to each venue

1 edit :oops: :oops: well done to Martin an excellent return of fish not much time to breath in between casts
Cheers Donal, I did the maps and I thought the GPS numbers might be helpful...good to know they were right!

I helped steward this event and was well impressed by Boris and the rest of the Mullaghmore lads, ably helped by Pete Atkins, they really picked venues that were producing fish. The number of comments I got from anglers I was stewarding about how well run it was, and about the quality of fishing was a great testament to their hard work. Pity about the weather on Sunday morning but at least the fish kept feeding...
Well done to all the anglers who competed, and especially to the winner and those who made the fish-offs!
Its called fishing, not catching. If it was called catching it wouldn't be fishing!

Big well done to the organising committee. Brave move with the dispersed venues, but you couldn’t complain with the number & quality of the fish caught.

Great to see Martin winning after a few near misses, brilliant performances by John & Harry aswell.

I would like to thank everyone for their kind words and congratulations.

This was my 8th time to compete in the Master angler Shore Championships and with 4 top 10 finishes i was beginning to feel that my day would never come.
Its certainly a great feeling to be the last name called out and to walk up and lift the Master angler trophy.

I would like to congratulate the Connaught Council, the Shore Committee and Mullaghmore Sac for making a big effort to put us onto beaches that produced good numbers of quality fish.

Well done to all the anglers who qualified for the fish offs and judging by the numbers of fish at the weekend its going to be a great competition.

A word of encouragement to all the anglers that did not do so well at the weekend, the first Masters i ever fished i blanked all 3 sessions, so don't give up.

Martin.

On behalf of the organizing committee, I'd like to congratulate Martin on his win and all the anglers who finished in the top ten. I was steward for Martin, Sean Ivory and John O Brien in the last session and to watch 3 of the top anglers in the country slug it out for 4 hours was a pleasure, even in the pissing rain! Also I'd like to thank all the people from outside of Connaught who helped out with the stewarding, Anna Platt and Kevin Daly and a very big thanks to Tommy Fogarty, Joe Duggan and Joe Byrne whose help over the whole weekend was a huge factor in the success of this competition. Hopefully anglers enjoyed their weekend and travelled home with a different opinion of Mullaghmore and Connaughts ability to host large competitions in the future. Thanks again. Pete A.

THE WORLD NEEDS MORE PICTURES OF PEOPLE HOLDING FISH
